GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This machine 

MUST BE GROUNDED

while in use to

protect the operator from electric shock.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, 

GROUND-

ING

provides the path of least resistance for electric

current and reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug

MUST

be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle

that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with 

ALL

local codes and ordinances.

If a plug is provided with your machine 

DO NOT

modify

the plug.  If it will not fit your electrical receptacle, have
a qualified electrician install the proper connections to
meet all electrical codes local and state. All connections
must also adhere to all of OSHA mandates.

IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

of the equip-

ment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding con-
ductor.

DO NOT

connect the equipment-grounding con-

ductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.

PLUGS/RECEPTACLES

• Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is

not grounded properly or if the electrical configura-
tion does not comply with local and state electrical
codes.

MAKE CERTAIN

the machine is disconnected

from power source before starting any electrical
work.

MAKE SURE

the circuit breaker does not exceed

the rating of the plug and receptacle.

EXTENSION CORDS

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, use the
proper gauge of extension cord. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your machine will draw.

The smaller the gauge-number, the larger the diameter
of the extension cord is. If in doubt of the proper size of
an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in a loss of power and overheating. 

USE ONLY

a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong

grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the
machine’s plug.

If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it
is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indi-
cate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Make certain the extension cord is properly sized, and
in good electrical condition. Always replace a worn or
damaged extension cord immediately or have it
repaired by a qualified person before using it.

Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, exces-
sive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Depending on your model table saw, the motor supplied
with your machine is either a 230 volt, single phase
motor (Model 35636) or a 230 volt, three phase motor
(Model 35635). Never connect the green or ground wire
to a live terminal.

A machine with a 230 volt plug should only be connect-
ed to an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug.
